This new lounge reflects our commitment to growth in the UK aviation market, our dedication to supporting airport partners with outstanding services and products and our focus on offering more choice to Priority Pass customers and travellers. I’m confident the team will provide the stylish, premium experience travellers have become used to from No1 Lounges and throughout the Airport Dimensions network.”
 
Rami El-Dahshan, Managing Director of No1 Lounges Ltd commented: “We’re beyond excited to bring the No1 experience to Heathrow Terminal 2.
